Dana White blasts "12 year old girl" Mario Yamasaki for early stoppage in Lee vs. Chiesa fight
Tom Taylor - June 26, 2017
Last night, in the main event of UFC Fight Night 112 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, ranked UFC lightweights Kevin Lee and Michael Chiesa collided in an anticipated grudge match. This clash of grappling specialists was a fun one while it lasted. Unfortunately, the end of the fight was shadowed in controversy. As the seconds fell off the clock in the first round, Lee took Chiesa’s back and locked up a rear-naked choke. Though the choke looked deep, referee Mario Yamasaki stopped it before any tap actually occurred. This meant a win on Lee’s record, but one with a definite asterisk attached.

In the co-main event of this 13-fight card, former UFC welterweight champion and Oklahoma’s own Johny Hendricks took his second fight at middleweight opposite dangerous veteran Tim Boetsch. Though Hendricks won his first bout at middleweight, things did not go so well in his second fight in the division. After a relatively slow first round, Boetsch planted a crushing head-kicked on his foe’s head, trapped him against the cage, and force-fed him a multi-course meal of uppercuts until he crumbled to the mat in a dazed heap.

She also nearly finished the fight with a deep-looking rear naked choke. Needless to say, she left Oklahoma City with a unanimous decision win.
